Introducing Santa Ponsa
Charming Santa Ponsa is a “feel-good” city located 22 kilometers southwest of Palma. The cozy holiday areas stretch westward from Palma, passing through Cala Mayor, Illetas, Portals Nous, Palmanova, and Magaluf, before reaching Santa Ponsa. Exit the A1 motorway at “Santa Ponsa,” and follow the signs past the beautiful historic windmill “Moli de Santa Ponsa.”
Exploring Santa Ponsa
Upon exiting, you are just a short kilometer from the water. Shops, supermarkets, and restaurants begin to appear on both sides of the road, with the city’s largest supermarket, Eroski, situated at the start of the last “avenue” towards the water. Hotels line both sides of the road as you approach the central roundabout, a local hub and the “feel-good” center of town. This roundabout leads to various parts of Santa Ponsa, including the central bus stop and taxi rank in front of Hotel Plaza Santa Ponsa.
From this point, the beach is straight ahead, with a forested area providing shade and a delightful environment for families. You can continue along the beach road, where restaurants and bars abound, or head towards the Costa de la Calma area for live entertainment at “The Square” during the summer.
